Not a bad deal only catch is you are locked in for 24 months but with a $1000 gift card and 200 GB of data some of you won't need your home internet for 24 months.
Bonus 100GB data until 31/8/2022.
Offer available to port-in customers and customers who connect to a new service. Excludes Telstra Pre-Paid, Boost and Belong customers. Visit JB Hi-Fi in store or request a call back.
Ya I fixed thanks bro
If data sharing was allowed on this plan would be good, but they disallow it in T&Cs
but they disallow it
why?
Different billing system - JB HiFi plans are in an old billing system with no data sharing
the old billing system is being retired, so then what?
@Irishness: Whenever the JB HiFi plans get created in the new system people will probably start being migrated over.
The fact they're still offering 24 month JB HiFi contracts suggests it'll still be a while yet before JB customers are moved over
@b3au: fair enough but they are moving all their pre paid customers over and doing a terrible job of it
Lol
Not 'disallowed' - the billing system doesn't support it. But agree - no data sharing is another catch, not just being locked in for 24 months.
The billing system supports it just fine. They used to have data sharing on Siebel accounts years back. They just removed the product now
Yeah, I recon it's just a perk saved for Telstra contract. And imo fair enough.
only catch is you are locked in for 24 months
big catch though.
Yeah I'd never commit to $100/month for 24 months and no phone. I'll pass :)
Homer…Vouchers can be exchanged for phones
Explain how!
$100/month for 24 months
$2,400 for usage when many of those users can probably get away with $240….
Yeah, I've been spending around $120/year for the last 3 to 4 years now, so I just couldn't imagine spending this on mobile access now.
I know I used to spend this sort of money 10 years ago.
Yep, especially when you don't even need that much data.
Tempting. I'm on Circles.Life $8 for 48gb, but it ends next month.
This will set you up about $57 per month.. are you comparing the right one?
Works out to be $57 a month, before tax deductions…
The real kicker here is for those who can tax deduct the entire amount as a work expense. Let's say at 47c in the dollar if you are earning 180k/year, you end up around $10.80 a month out of pocket.
cost 2376
less gift card -1000
less tax deduction -1116.72
total 259.28
per month 10.80333333
At 39c in the dollar (earning 120-180k), you end up $18.72 per month out of pocket
cost 2376
less gift card -1000
less tax deduction -926.64
total 449.36
per month 18.72333333
(assumes you want the jb hifi gift cards and value them at face value)
If you use that $1000 gift card for a phone and salary sacrifice over it, your pre-tax deduction became $3,376, tax deduction $1,586.72. Net cost = $2,376 - $1,586.75 = $789.28 over 24 months and you have a $1000 phone in you hand. (you can also sell the phone for $789.28) for a free Telstra service for 2 years:)
How do you salary sacrifice for an outright bought phone?
https://www.ato.gov.au/general/fringe-benefits-tax-(fbt)/in-detail/employees/salary-sacrifice-arrangements-for-employees/#Exemptbenefits
Not sure if this is what they meant, but if you work for a public hospital or some not for profits you can salary package devices. You buy the device and the amount you paid is taken out before tax. Can also get living expenses before tax as well (up to 9k for hospitals, 16k? for some other places I think).
Different to salary sacrificing (usually referring to contributing to super).
The employee claims the phone as an expense and the employer reimburses them the full purchase price.
Then the employer takes the ex. GST purchase price out of the employee's pre-tax income over a few months.
The employee ends up getting the device at 40% or more off.
What is the free telstra service?
the mobile plan itself
Are you saying that in a 47% bracket, your return will include $1116.72?
I assume there is more immediate benefit in claiming a new phone through this plane (and subsequent gift card) then paying the phone itself outright and claiming the phone for tax purposes which would need to be depreciated over 3 years?
And it was also $1100 few wks ago too. Surprisingly no one posted the deal
Also, if you prefer an alternative plan, JB is currently doing $0 for iPhone 13 on the $99 plan over 24 months
Yep, I wouldn't get into a 24 month contract for anything less than $1200.
Only a month or so ago, you got the same $1000 gift card with $20 monthly discount, and 100GB extra monthly data. This is weak as.
Can confirm I got a $1200 card, am paying $79, claiming 80% work use, winning! (And free visual voicemail).
Nothing beats the previous deal with with $500 gift card on $69/Month 12-Month 80GB plan where you could bring it down to $59/Month with $10 welcome credit. Too bad it's not gonna happen anytime soon.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/673656
The deals 2 years ago were the best, ie sign up for the plan, receive gift card / phone, cancel the next day pay $2.33
waiting for $20 monthly discount
OMG! 1K?!?! That's insane. How many remote control poo will that get me?
1000 regular remote controlled poo
Or if you prefer, 1000 sparkly poo
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/692677
500 of each maybe? Why choose?
Usually all major carriers roll out new plans in September.. at least that was what I had noticed in the past
It should be 2k back then it would be a tempting deal or 12months or a $50 monthly discount.
This isn't a good deal
You may as well ask for the plan to be free while you’re at it!!
Mine not free but basically the plan paying itself when i sign up for $69 for 12 months for 100gb 5g plan and pay $399 for pixel 6 pro. Refund pixel 6 pro ($650 gift card) and telstra chat credit for $20 which bring downs to $49. Result, profit $62.
unsure what you mean, I always get a deal on one of the above conditions, got one last year and another just a few weeks back, the one a few weeks back was basically a free plan so actually better deal then what I stated in my first comment
This only rewards telstra customers to leave and port back in.
it says if it is a new plan, so don't have to port out
$99 per month and they don't include a phone? What a rip.
Doesn't worth it, better to choose that $69 one-year plan with $300 GC
anyone know if you're able to get the $10 port in bonus via telstra live chat?
Still hodling for a 12 month $59 plan with a GC.
Wasn't this $1200 last month? I guess they inflation adjusted the gift card too.. 😬
Loved jumping on the Jbhifi/ Telstra wagon when contracts were 12 months and the gift cards $500. Now boost works out to be heaps cheaper within the added benefits of international calling. I would pass on this ..
Maybe I should port to Optus and wait a few months and port back to telstra just for the gift card lol
So porting in from Boost doesn't work for any of the JB/Telstra deals?
Boost is in their system, Siebel. It counts as a pre paid to post paid order, rather than a new connection.
Ah, I need to change to another prepaid service for a month to take advantage of one of these plans, would you recommend any provider who is half decent?
Depends where you live tbh. I find all of them garbage where I live, and begrudgingly swap when waiting for deals. Just go with whatever the cheapest deal is you can find
Get a $1 Kogan 30 day prepaid mobile plan 40 GB. You will need a .edu.au email address. It's Vodafone network and it's only for 1 month before posting back to Telstra. No other provider comes close to Telstra/Boost's coverage.
@jedimaster: Unidays $1 prepaid. You actually get 40GB even though it says 30GB. I activated one recently.
https://www.koganmobile.com.au/plans/unidays/
Without Unidays it's $2.90 they announced today it seems.
https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-mobile-sim-prepaid-starte…
Siebel is being phased out. Prepaid customers are being migrated to a new system called Console. In any event, terms exclude Boost customers, so if you're going to do this, port out to Optus/Voda first.
I'll believe it when I see it, they've been saying they're phasing out Siebel and Maxim for 5 years now.
How long is the gift card valid for?
No expiry on jb hifi (unless they go out of business, but can't see that happening)
https://felixmobile.com.au/ offers unlimited data, calls and texts for $35 per month. Last month I used 350GB and I've used 285GB so far this month. They have first month free with code "felix" at the moment. I can usually get 2 people online streaming at 360/480p if you're willing to turn down bitrate on youtube and netflix. It's unusable for gaming during afternoon peak. I'm just waiting for NBN to get their butts in gear and finally install my proper home service (I've been waiting for more than 6 weeks at this point with multiple calls to AussieBB to get NBN to get a wriggle on). They are definitely a B level service provider though because when I use my Kogan mobile data the service is much faster and useable for gaming but I only get 20GB per month with Kogan so I can't really use them for everyday as a stop-gap. Both Felix and Kogan utilise the Vodaphone network. Felix uses 3G and 4G, speed is comparable to 3G only. Latency at peak in afternoons is somewhere between 1s-2s and I'm pretty sure they just give me a 10-20 second time-out every 10-20 minutes just to ensure it isn't used as a gaming service during peak.
I'm not sure why you're offering a completely incomparable carrier and product as a "comparison" of any kind, but you do you.
Ok, thanks man.
Big brother Vodafone so $65 unlimited and you can ignore the tethering/hotspot limitations too as it’s only enforced when roaming overseas and not domestic
Votlte and wificalling tick too
I do 600gb-900gb a month 80-150mbs speed 4g/5g and soon roaming on Telstra around Xmas too
Why would someone pay $100 per month for a mobile plan!?
I just pay < $10 per month with Kogan, Catch Connect, Boost, etc. The coverage is good enough for even outer suburbs.
:-? :-? :-?
My work covers upto $80 pm so it comes out very cheap for me. I signed up start of the year with $1200 gc though
With NBN at home and free wifi hotspots it’s doable for sure. Or dual phone and do a data only @1.5mbs unlimited for $15 a month (but I’d rather pay $35 felix)
Jb hifi no longer offer 12 month plan anymore? It's removed from website and replace with 24 month plan
Link was literally posted 1st reply:

12month/$300 gift card
If only this deal for iPhone 14
pay $2376 to get $1000 200 gigs not shareable data is nothing to write to Queen Camilia about
200 gigs in 2022 is what used to be 45 gigs song and dance in 1999 on 4 gee
4g was rolled out in 2009 so, to be fair, 45gb 4g in 1999 would have been flippin awesome!
Just saw at TGGs today same deal but $1200 gift card
Can I port of Telstra to voda for one day and return to Telstra via Jb promo?
Nup need to wait 30 days after porting out.
Not really. If you just tell the staff that you have ported some time ago from Boost,/belong to xyz, even if you switched recently, it will work.
So when you guys do this, if the staff member doesn't really check when you ported out (which most of them have cottoned on to nowadays). Once the plan is through, Telstra don't reimburse JB for these plans and as a result the staff member gets into trouble.

Of=out
If you hotspot can you still chromecast?
so if I go with 150$/yr prepaid for 2 years - I earn, how much?
You get 300gb per month for $150/ yr? How did you get that deal?
So Telstra are asking for you to pay them around $2400 and they will give you a $1000 gift card.
Honestly, everything Telstra touches is a scam.
True. Until the roaming agreement is green lighted and activated around Xmas then Vodafone’s going to be awesome if coverage is your reason for paying the Telstra tax
Hi, does anyone know how long those gift cards are valid for? Are there any limitations? thank
